action

Claire and Bernhard Ahrensberg come back from a trip to Rome and, to Claire's astonishment, are picked up by Bernhard's former chauffeur Nickl. Claire doesn't think it's a coincidence, as Bernhard wants her to believe. But they had agreed to leave their old life behind. Bernhard transferred the management of his company Ahrensberg Flugzeugwerke to his almost son-in-law Ingo and Claire sold her nursery and withdrew from her numerous activities relating to environmental protection. Bernhard is slightly annoyed that her high-tech house is still not fully furnished, as Claire insists that it must be done according to the rules of Feng Shui. But the couple has another problem, both Bernhard and Claire are busy behind each other's backs, devoting themselves to their old activities, which they desperately want to hide from each other.

It is similar for Claire and Bernhard's daughter Sophie, a passionate engineer. Sophie is still on honeymoon with her husband Karl, a writer, when she receives a call from Ingo, a kind of cry for help. You can't get a grip on the standard values ​​for a new aircraft model, they are far too high. This threatens to collapse an extremely lucrative business. She, too, hides from Karl that she simply cannot remain idle.

While Bernhard rushes to his company, but Claire tells that he is at a chess tournament, she meets with Minister of State Tannenberger, who wants to make her a position in the Ministry of the Environment attractive. This continues for the following days, until Claire has to admit to Bernhard that she has been offered the position of State Secretary in the Ministry of the Environment. Although Bernhard is not honest either, he thinks that it is a betrayal of the promise they made for a new life together. And then Erna suddenly disappeared, Claire's mother. Claire has no way of knowing that she is staying with Kalle Berger, who she last saw 30 years ago. They were both a couple then. After she turned up with Kalle at Bernhard's, who then called Claire to tell her not to worry anymore, it was a coincidence that Claire saw him together with Annemarie Rencke, an engineer at Ahrensberg Flugzeugbau, and wrong Draws conclusions. She then leaves Bernhard a note that she will spend the night with her mother today.

Sophie has now solved the problems with the standard values ​​of the A33. When Claire calls Hans because she can't reach Sophie and asks if everything is okay, he replies: “We are who we are, aren't we?” To which Claire replies: “You can say that out loud.” Hans wants to then to know from Claire if she believes that one can change. He loves Sophie, but he just thinks everyone has to stay who they are. You couldn't bend over, he was a scribe and Sophie was an aircraft maker. Claire says she understands him very well and how she understands him. And that he helped her a lot. Sophie and Hans talk to each other and decide to keep loving each other, separately, because it doesn't work together.

Claire accepts the offer to work as State Secretary. Claire and Bernhard meet again in the fully automated elevator of their house. Now, of all times, the voice reports a wrong action, the elevator is stuck. Bernhard explains to Claire that he did not cheat on her with Annemarie Rencke, as she suspected, but that he never stopped working. Claire can't say anything because she lied. You had promised yourself to let the other be as he was. Shortly before both of them are freed from the broken elevator, they are sure that they can make it together.

The whole family meets again at the funeral of Kalle Berger, who was able to spend his last days with his great love Erna and died suddenly. Erna made sure that his yellow sports car was completely covered with yellow flowers.

background

In a dpa conversation, Senta Berger said that "in love you have to get involved - even if it is difficult to lead a life for two". You also have to "accept the incompatibility" of what the film shows. It is "not a typical 'thigh-thump comedy', but rather a family film in which anyone who lives with someone can find themselves," said the actress. Thun said that it was "very important" who you play with in a film, how you harmonize with each other. When filming, it is "less about the pleasant aspects - which we both have because we are happy when we see each other in the morning - it is about other things and not whether there is a friendly atmosphere in private," said Senta Berger together. Neither of them would like to live in a talking high-tech house privately. Even with Feng Shui she “has nothing to do with”, said Berger, but it is “a nice punch line in the film”.

reception

Audience rating

The film was watched by 3.97 million viewers when it was first broadcast. The market share was 13.1 percent.

criticism

The editors of the television magazine TV Spielfilm pointed their thumbs to the middle, gave one of three possible points for humor and tension and said that as a comedy, the film "unfortunately lacks speed, timing and temperament". The conclusion was then: "This generational comedy paralyzes something".

The TV magazine Prisma was also not very enthusiastic about the film and said it was telling “just an old-fashioned story that could not save even the good-looking cast”.

Rainer Tittelbach, on the other hand, gave the film 3.5 out of 6 possible stars on his website tittelbach.tv and praised it: “What starts babbling, gains traction - and the message is honest: there is no point trying to change for the other! Listening to everyday life, top cast, appealing optics. "If you have looked into the film," which feeds on the everyday rhythm rather than indulging in a clear comedy structure ", what the" disadvantage of the aimless, but also have the advantage that everything does not always have to be knitted at speed and a quick punchline ", one can afford" such a sequence of leisurely escalating situations (just like in life) "if one has" the right people actors "for it" I have: Senta Berger, Friedrich von Thun, Lisa Martinek, Fritz Karl as well as Bibiana Zeller and Heinz Baumann as a late-night happy-go-lucky couple "are" the right ones ". They are said to be "happy to take away the moral of this story: the difficulty of changing, the impossibility of constantly jumping over the shadows for the relationship." 'We are who we are.' "

Quite different was the Be (Ver) urteilung the film on the side Quotenmeter.de that Kevin Kyburz precipitated who came to talk to an old audience and old performer especially over again, and that the film "its viewers steal ninety minutes of life ”, will find his“ graying audience ”. Kyburz was of the opinion that the sequel to weddings should "better never have been shot". "This product of the television industry succeeds in symbolizing almost every stereotype of public evening entertainment". The story is "obviously composed of the dustiest exhibits of the German TV film horror cabinet". Kyburz then went on to say that “the over-aged audience of the main public service programs is also capable” of “consuming more sophisticated things”, which “other productions” would prove to be sufficient. “It goes without saying that no story can find a rounded ending after ninety minutes”. Rather, “after the viewing, you have the feeling of having just seen three episodes of GZSZ with aged actors in a row”.

The film service read: Continuation of a lively (television) family comedy ('Weddings', 2011) with sympathetic celebrity actors. - From 12.

Also on the Focus Online page there was talk of an "entertaining family comedy", a "film about love, old age and retirement". It is shown that "in love one thing is especially important: not wanting to bend yourself or others".
